Quality generator packed with useful features and power!

I'm using the i4500 for boondocking. A quality generator the is quiet and provides the power that can provide the power I need while camping. Also has a lot of nice features like remote start, a collapsible handle, fuel shutoff and reasonably quiet. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Outstanding

I waffeled back and forth between several different brands and models, eventually choosing the Igen 4500, I made the right choice, this this is QUIET, after the break in period, i changed the oil, and hooked it up to my travel trailer, I can't really hear it from inside the trailer, at about 12' away, except momentarily when the 15000btu ac kicked on, then rpm's dropped back down. I had watched countless youtube video's comparing the different models, and decibel levels, and it's difficult to judge sound through a video, but now after purchasing, I'm quite pleased, and it comes with a battery, which some of the others don't.

Works well

I bought this last December (2021) but had not taken it out of the box until we lost power yesterday (August 2022). The generator was relatively easy to set up, worked well and kept the fridge and a few other things running smoothly. I think it probably could have handled more. It was also relatively quiet. Of course, time will tell, but I'm quite happy with the purchase so far.

Meets our needs, and exceeds expectations

We just had a day long power outage due to weather. We live in a remote location, so these are not unexpected. With the inverter, we have power to support refrigerator, microwave, internet, tv/satellite receiver and plenty of household lighting. With a wood stove for heat, a couple of fans move the air around the cabin nicely. It runs more quietly than I had expected after experience with a much smaller inverter that seems louder than the iGen4500. Runtime is excellent, so I can sleep through the night without refueling.

Awesome Generator

We bought this generator because of the output we needed to power a DJ for our daughter's wedding and didn't want to listen to an open frame generator. I was amazed on how quite it was. We are RVers and so are many of the people that came to the wedding. Everyone who was familiar with generators and camping that saw this baby in action wanted to steal this for their our use. The remote start is great, fuel consumption is great and over all performance is great!

Excellent generator - value for money

I bought this a week ago to use during emergency situation to ensure operating my key essential devices like sump pump, freezer, fridge, charging mobile phone and wi fi. So i bought this IGen 4500 to have relatively smaller generator, with reasonable weight easy start Manual are very clear , steps of operation are explained simply in several language The generator itself has relatively low sound compared to other generators available in the market You can start the generator through three ways, pull , button or remote control The generator comes with engine oil yet of course you need to buy the gasoline and gasoline stabilizer. Very high quality and operate for 18 hours with one tank fill … highly recommended if u need a reliable generator for emergency situation

Exactly what I expected after much research

Bought this recently and am very satisfied with it. Although I cannot comment on longevity, I see no reason why it wouldn't last for years with regular usage if maintained well. It is VERY quiet. Preparation for first time usage is simple. Instructions in operators manual are very fragmented with an overkill of warnings about "don't do this or you may die" but if you are able to read thru this, all of the important information is there. Instructions for first time use include adding .6 L (the total capacity of engine oil) of 10w-30 motor oil. The oil provided is in a .6 L bottle and instructions say to pour entire bottle into oil fill reservoir. Makes sense, except when I did this, it over-filled the reservoir a bit and oil overflowed, which I had to quickly take care of. I'm assuming this is because of residual oil used for testing at the factory that was not entirely drained before shipping. Also, the serial number of this machine is nowhere to be found ON THE MACHINE. It is a sticker on the outside of the box. I spent some time searching for this by removing panels off the machine only to find nothing, and to resort to searching the website for "location of serial number". Overall - GREAT generator and I'd buy again. Highly recommended.

IGen4500DF

Took this out on our first dry camping expedition. Did a great job carrying the load. Ran everything in the camper. Not much noise produced. I am really enjoying this unit. Only downer is the cover for the battery came off while traveling in the back of the truck and is gone in the wind. The oil cover was hanging on but almost came off as well. I would recommend taking off both covers so you don’t loose them.

Great for Camping

We bought this generator to supply power to our 33ft. camper. We just used it on a 4 day trip and couldn't be happier. We were able to run whatever we wanted and it used minimal gas. It is so quiet to use, you couldn't hear it beyond our campsite. I would definitely recommend it.

TRAVEL TRAILER POWER

i bought this almost 2 months ago and am very happy with it. i have read comments from people on camping sites that their generator would not run their az and even just the microwave at the same time. this unit ran my ac, tv, dvd player, all lights, and the microwave at the same time. excellent inverter generator.
